And I’m STILL hot for teacher…only now it makes me feel like a lecherous old man.
My brother teaches at our hometown high school. When he started, he was lamenting the fact that some of his students are the offspring of his former classmates, and that made him feel old.
Recently he confessed that he is now starting to get grandchildren of former classmates as students.
mmm
When I realized that the bands I listened to in HS are now all eligible for the AARP.
When I was in college I worked as a camp counselor. Recently, one of my former campers got her PhD.
Damn.
Another one: I realized when going through my iPod that nearly everything I listen to is from the 80s and 90s and I’ve become one of those people that think all new music sucks. But it does!
My son is almost the same age as I was when I was pregnant with him. No way am I ready to be a grandma yet. Especially since I’m pregnant now…that would be weird.
In Back to the Future, which I do not consider to be an “old” movie, Marty McFly goes back in time 30 years and ends up in 1955.
If that film were remade today, he would end up in 1981.
80s and 90s is new music!
Ah HA! Another candidate for my thread, Current-ish songs for old-ish farts. There’s plenty of good music out there now - you just have to figure out how to find it (it won’t be on the radio).
I was figuring 18-year-olds, about 10 in 2003 (maybe wikipedia let me down). I’ll freely admit it’s probably a slight exaggeration, but I was picking 10 as the sort of age when you might start watching news regularly.
I’m a year older than he is. The first time our president is younger than me.
Damned young pup!
That’s the Iran-Iraq war… right?
When I figured out that I was working on my fourth-grade science fair project around the time that my favorite living pop singer, Kesha, was born (March 1987). On the other hand, I’m glad I’m young enough to still enjoy this type of music.
Also, when I realized that my boss’s boss was born after Star Wars was released.
There hasn’t been a president older than me since GHWBush.
I’m taking a college course, and the first class is tomorrow evening. As usual, when I enter the room I’ll have to tell them I’m not the teacher.
And the cousins I used to babysit for are now in their 50s.
Gray pubic hairs make me feel old. The ones on my head and in my beard never bothered me.
I had my first colonoscopy a couple of weeks ago. Yay.
Every time there’s a thread here talking about old movies versus new movies, movies made in the '70’s (and sometimes even the '80’s) are grouped with the “old” movies. Man, old movies were made in the '30’s and '40’s, when the world was black and white.
I have wiry gray chest hairs that make me very sad.
As long as you’re not a girl, this should never be a problem. I find it rather sexy - which my boyfriend will attest to as truth.
I totally agree. People mock salt-and-pepper hair but I think it’s really hot…I always liked a mature man, anyway.
